Hello there! Sometime this month, I will present the 60 [originally planned to be 50] best albums of the year in my opinion!

 

The list will come soon and I hope you're excited!

 

I might need a little bit of suggestions from you for albums of 2015 to hear, if that's OK!

 

UPDATE: Here are the rules for the albums

 

Compilation albums will not appear on this list, so no Now That's What I Call Music or Clubland albums

Re-releases of albums from pre-2015 will be excluded, so no Drowning Shadows edition of Sam Smith's In The Lonely Hour or David Guetta - Listen Again

The list will count for "studio albums" only, so greatest hits albums (such as Paul Simon' s Ultimate Collection and Faithless' Faithless 2.0), EP's (such as The Prodigy's Night Is My Friend EP), etc. will not count.

(31/12/2015) The highlights will mainly be on the standard versions of the albums, not the deluxe versions!

The list will be based on my opinions, so don't get angry just because you don't see one of your favourite albums appearing on this list nor should you insult the host of this topic (i.e. me, by the way) for adding an album you dislike on his/her list.

My personal album chart started somewhere in November, so there may be a lot of albums with "xx" on the my peak section.

(reply to Adam's Satsuma) I have heard Stories a few months ago, sounds pretty good so it is likely that it will be on my Top 50 Albums Of The Year!

(reply to Ultra Christmas) I'm glad you are looking forward to this

Will you be doing individual songs too :heart: (I expect Uptown Funk will be #1 :heehee:)

The list might begin on the 31st of December, since I'm taking my time to re-listen the albums and/or maybe listen to albums that I haven't listened to yet!
